Lyrics

What a beautiful thought I am thinking concerning the great speckled bird
Remember her name is recorded on the pages of god's holy word

Desiring to lower her standards they watch every move that she makes
They long to find fault with her teaching but really they found no mistakes

I am proud that I've learned of her meekness I am proud that my name's on the book
For I want to be one never fearing the face of my saviour's true look

When he comes descending from heaven on the cloud as he writes in his word
I'll be joyfully carried off to meet him on the wings of the great speckled bird
